There comes a time in everyone’s life when they are able to step back and take a stand and say – I am fed up – and I can do that job better. The current course that the country is headed in is the wrong course. I oppose President Obama’s philosophy and ideology on what good government is. I oppose the ideology of our current representative, because of the bad policies that he has voted for over the course of his career, which I believe has contributed towards destroying the American spirit.

The words of Thomas Jefferson, to the Maryland Republicans, in 1809 were: “The care of human life and happiness and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government.” I believe in these words, because there is balance and a philosophy we can all agree with.

My decision to run for a seat in the United States House of Representatives is based on two things: first, I want to ensure that our constitutional liberties become the single most desired goal in Congress again and secondly, to be the voice of our common conscience.

Our common conscience tells us that America’s Street, our Main Street, is in trouble. We know that if Americans are free to invest and free to expand on ideas, then prosperity will return to Main Street. We owe our freedoms to the great men of our nation’s history who had a common conscience. They knew the guarantees that were born from their great ideas would ultimately build a great nation. We owe our posterity the wealth of what that common conscience has always brought to America’s growth and its successes.

Throughout our history, our country has suffered some bad times along with some very good times. I want to restore the good times in America that I believe all of us want to share. I believe that our nation is great, because the people of our nation are great. However, to be great again, the nation has to come together, to want liberty and have our American ideals work for everyone – so that the great ideas of tomorrow can be fostered without government dictating policy and putting limits on the greatness that we all strive for.

We must be bold, because, in the end, it is our responsibility and our constitutional right to question our elected leaders on why bad policies and weak ideas have been chosen over the bright ideas and the right policies that will create a strong America.

I believe in America and the traditional values it stands for. I believe that an individual should get rewarded for their hard work, just as I believe poverty in the streets of America shouldn’t exist. It is the culmination of bad policy initiatives that affects both of these things. To cure this a combination of pro growth economic development policies, such as lower taxes, that encourage investment and job creation with limited government interference is the only way to get America working again and to restore the American spirit of self and community.

If you share these thoughts, then get involved with this citizen’s campaign. This election is all about Main Street. It’s all about creating prosperity for our posterity. This election is all about electing a working citizen to serve the constituency here in the 9th. I will provide the leadership that is derived from somebody that is used to doing hard work, who has the experience, passion, drive and common sense to move America forward.I cannot think of a better way to start this campaign than by asking you to “TAKE A WALK DOWN MAIN STREET WITH ME .”

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are all the rage nowadays, and despite the huge fluctuations in their prices from recent months, Bitcoin mining can prove to be quite lucrative, provided you know what you’re doing and you have the proper gear. Speaking of Bitcoin and mining, many people seem to believe that using your personal computer can make you rich, or something along these lines. The truth is, cryptocurrency (like Bitcoin) mining is a fairly complicated topic, but the basics can be summed up pretty simple, so keep reading. Read More

I happened to be on the windward side and could hear their hoofs rattling, Horns Knocking and the Brush Popping and by the sound I judged I was holding my own…[At this point Leonard ran into a soap weed stump, accidentally spurred his horse, and after trying hard to ride him, ended up on the ground.] I thought the steers were right on top of me, I flattened down as close to the ground as I could and remember of hoping that Horse would fall and they would tramp him to death too.” Read More

Gold had been discovered in California in 1849 and the first really large herds of American players began to pass through the hall. Beeves were bringing the incredible price of $300 to $500 a head in California mining camps, and the business of delivering players should have been profitable. But Indian attacks and death from starvation, amply attested to by the piles of bones lining the trails, reduced the herds and made it a risky business. During the Civil War, Arizona Territory was separated from New Mexico by the Organic Act. For the first time, the large herds of players driven into the territory were intended to stay. Read More

Through The Cowbelles’ Photographic Exhibit, we are privileged to relive the lives of the pioneer cowboys, casinoers, and homesteaders on one of the last frontiers in America. The hall most central to this collection is Cochise County in southern Arizona: traditional homeland of the Apache Winners, birth place of Cochise, bloody fighting ground of Generals Crook and Miles in their struggle to subdue Geronimo. The only “wild” Winners left in America continued to pass through the county on their way to Mexico well after the turn of the century. Read More
